Love seeing the grin on his face in between deep breaths. The effort this man is putting out through his rehabilitation is enormous, and considering what Grizzlor mentioned about his body really falling into a state of atrophy, it is nuts to see him on a Bike with what looks like no/minimal assistance from the machine.

If Robbie can ever make it back into his car, I can't think of another team in motorsports that eclipses the feel-good story that is SPM. Between Sam, Hinch, and Robbie, there's ample material for a great movie. I'm so happy to see Robbie's progress.

For anyone looking for more info on what Dario went through health wise, he went fairly in depth into his accident injuries (pre and post Houston) on his appearance in the Dinner with Racers pod. Separately I believe it was only this past year or maybe late 2017 that he had his 1st track day in a Porsche he owns. It took him that long to feel comfortable. (Source on that was one of his Instagram posts)

Our opinions don't matter. It all boils down to Robert-what extent his recovery takes, and when that happens, what he wants to do.

If he wants to race and the doctors clear him, no matter what we think, he's gonna do it.

If he doesn't want to race, he won't.

I can assure everyone that my opinion doesn’t matter since my posts, which were respectful in every way, and simple expressed an opinion not shared with some, were censored by the mod.

My only crime was to suggest that when a driver suffers serious injuries that make him more likely to be injured again, I would prefer that driver to put his health first. Not exactly a new concept in racing! And news flash, while we’re at it, the earth is not flat.

Again, I am a Wickens fan. I was so impressed by his talent and only wish him the best in his road to recovery. He’ll be successful no matter where the road of life takes him, in or out of the cockpit.

We just removed discussion that speculated on outcomes - including, probably, some comments that were tangential to that discussion, but would have been confusing without that context. Hope this helps, and thanks, everyone, for your support for Robert.

This----> @Hinchtown on @robertwickens "It’s been massively therapeautic for me to see the progress he has made. We’re excited to see him back at a race track as soon as possible." @IndyCar#INDYCAR Media Day in Austin, Texas

@Hinchtown on his recovering friend @robertwickens: "I keep trying to tell him the the time frame is irrelevant. Whether it's six months, 16 months. He's young enough and good enough. He’ll get back in a car one day one way or the other."
